Chapter 143 The Conspiracy of the Temple of Light
Andrew couldn't help but gasp after reading the contents of the letter of request for peace.
"hiss!"
Andrew felt that his mouth was out of control after entering the Northern City, and he breathed more air in a day than in a year.
"The contents of this letter, I..."
Andrew looked up. He wanted to explain, but when he opened his mouth he didn't know what to say.
Xu Ercong smiled and said, "I guess you didn't know about this in advance, right? Mr. Andrew."
"Yes!"
Andrew nodded quickly, his heart was very bitter.
If Andrew had known the contents of the peace letter earlier, he would never have taken the initiative to request to be an envoy to the Northern City.
The content of this letter of peace is simply pushing oneself to death!
There is no rule on the continent of Esk that when two armies are fighting, one army must kill the other's envoys. Andrew felt that if he didn't explain it well, he might die in the Northern City today.
Andrew didn't think he could destroy an army of hundreds of thousands of undead by himself, so his tone was very sincere.
"Please believe me, Lord Qian Teduo!"
Andrew's expression was particularly serious. "I have no ill will towards the Northern City. This peace letter was written by His Majesty the King himself. I have no idea what is written on it!"
Andrew didn't want his mission to the northern city to end up sending someone to his death.
Xu Ercong smiled and was about to speak.
Suddenly, Ma Kesi, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up: "How about we kill him?"
Ma Kesi and others had finished their discussion in the group, and at this time they suddenly spoke up, scaring Andrew.
Xu Ercong glanced at Ma Kesi and asked, "Who to kill?"
Wang Dali raised his hand and pointed at Andrew: "Kill him."
Xu Ercong frowned: "Why?"
Chen Danshen continued, "Because the Lion Empire is playing tricks on us! They say they are here to seek peace, but there is no sincerity in their letter of request for peace, and they even want to threaten us!"
Li Tiangou nodded: "Yes! Why don't we just kill this NPC and take away all his equipment and treasures, and level up at the same time."
E Wang Wuqian nodded in agreement: "That's right. Although his level seems high , we have more people, so it's a win if we kill him."
Xu Ercong remained silent, seemingly seriously considering everyone's suggestions.
Andrew was terrified as he listened.
Although he couldn't understand the meaning of some of the words the players said , Andrew could understand words like "Kill him!" and "Take away his treasure!"
Killing people is one thing, but also stealing the treasure?
Andrew said tremblingly: "I really have no hostility towards the Northern City. If possible, I hope to be friends with you..."
Andrew himself felt that what he said was too pathetic, but Andrew would never admit that he was afraid of death. He just wanted to survive so that he could better complete the task assigned to him by the old dean.
After all, he hasn't even seen Alia yet, how can he just die like this!
"Don't worry, I won't kill you." Xu Ercong's words made Andrew breathe a sigh of relief.
Xu Ercong paused and continued, "But I think instead of expressing your goodwill now, you should take a look at the contents of these two letters first."
"I just said that the peace letter must be read together with these two letters to make it interesting."
Xu Ercong emphasized this matter again, and Andrew couldn't help but be curious and picked up the two letters from the table.
Just now, when Andrew saw the contents of the parchment peace letter, he was so shocked that he was in a hurry to explain to Xu Ercong, so he didn't have time to read the contents of the two letters.
Now that Xu Ercong mentioned this matter again, Andrew thought of the origins of the two letters that Xu Ercong had just mentioned.
"Letters from Bishop Abel and the Lord of the Palace of Light?"
Andrew murmured something in his heart. He had a bad feeling and slowly opened the parchment letter to read it.
The more Andrew looked, the more frightened he became, and the colder he felt on his back, as if a knife was pressed against his back.
"call……"
Andrew put down the letter in his hand, let out a long sigh, and his face looked solemn.
Xu Ercong put down the teacup in his hand and glanced at Andrew: "Have you finished reading it?"
Andrew nodded seriously: "I've finished reading it."
Xu Ercong asked: "What do you think?"
Andrew gritted his teeth: “Shameless! Despicable!”
"Haha, I think so too!"
Xu Ercong laughed, and then said meaningfully: "Since the Temple of Light wants to frame you, what are you going to do?"
One of these two letters was written by the Lord of the Temple of Light to Bishop Abel.
It clearly records that the Lord of the Palace of Light asked Abel to record all of Andrew's movements in the Northern City, and to forge evidence of Andrew's betrayal of the Lion Empire if necessary.
Try to provoke the undead in the Northern City to hate Andrew and the Thorn Flower Magic School. It would be best if Andrew died in the Northern City.
The status of the Thorn Flower Magic Academy in the Lion Empire is lofty, especially for branch deans like Andrew, whose status is no less than that of the high priest.
As long as Andrew dies in the Northern City, then even if His Majesty the King is unwilling to go to war, he must follow public opinion and send troops to the North!
After all, two important missions of the Thorn Flower Magic School and the Temple of Light were lost at the hands of this group of undead. The people of the powerful Lion Empire will never swallow this.
The other was a letter from Abel to the Lord of the Temple of Light.
It records all of Andrew's movements since the peace mission set out, and also includes what Andrew did and said when he entered the Northern City.
Even the passionate conversation between Andrew and Long Aotian was recorded and secretly recorded using mirror magic and sent to the City of Thorn Flowers to point out that Andrew was secretly colluding with the City of the Dead to betray the Lion Empire.
These two letters revealed two conspiracies of the Temple of Light.
According to the content mentioned in the letter, the parchment peace letter was actually a fake forged by the Lord of the Hall of Light, and the real peace letter had been replaced by the Lord long ago.
The purpose of this fake letter of peace was to allow Andrew to successfully anger the undead magicians in the Northern City when he took out the letter of peace, thus causing Andrew to die in the North.
If Andrew is lucky, or if this group of undead magicians are afraid of the powerful strength of the Lion Empire and dare not kill Andrew, then the Temple of Light will use the forged evidence collected by Abel to frame Andrew.
Either the Lion Empire will march to the North as expected, or Andrew will "betray" the Lion Empire and bring a huge stain to the Thorn Flower Magic Academy.
No matter which outcome it is, it will be a huge win for the Temple of Light.
The more Andrew thought about it, the more he felt his anger boiling. He wished he could rush back to the City of Thorn Flowers right now, expose the conspiracy of the Temple of Light, and let everyone in the empire see the true face of the Temple of Light!
"Sir Andrew?!"
Ma Kesi shouted, waking up Andrew who was deep in thought: "Brother Cong is asking you a question, why don't you respond at all?"
"Oh, sorry, I was just thinking about something."
Andrew stood up, his face full of apology, and bowed solemnly to Xu Ercong: "Qian Teduo is so realistic, I hope you can do me a favor!"
